License Agreement

The License Agreement is a contract between the licensor and purchaser, establishing the purchaser’s right to use the software.

The Protegrity License Agreement stipulates the license expiration date and the functionality which is available before and after the license expiration date.

For specific details about your particular licensing terms, refer to your License Agreement provided by Protegrity.

License Types

When your Enterprise Security Administrator (ESA) is installed and Policy Management is initialized, a temporary license is applied to it by default.

The temporary license which is created during initialization allows you to use ESA and Policy management for 30 days starting from the day you initialized Policy Management. When the temporary license expires, you are able to log on to ESA, but you have restricted permissions for using it.

For more information, refer Expired License.

To continue using the ESA with full administrative permissions, you must obtain a validated license provided by Protegrity. The validated license has an expiration date which is determined by the License Agreement between your company and Protegrity.
